Acne vaccines could offer robust defence Summary Researchers are developing vaccine candidates that train the immune system to tackle the bacterial inflammation that drives acne. Current topical treatments and systemic…
Gene therapy marks a turning point for rare skin diseases Summary A topical, gel-based gene therapy (beremagene geperpavec, B-VEC; marketed as Vyjuvek) and a graft-based gene therapy (prademagene zamikeracel, pz-cel;…
Five highlights from skin research Summary This roundup from Nature Outlook: Skin presents five recent advances in skin science — from living-skin coatings for robots to wearable sensors that track…
A psoriasis cure could be in touching distance Summary Recent advances in targeted antibody therapies for moderate to severe psoriasis have transformed patients’ lives, often clearing widespread inflamed skin. However,…
Cocaine chemogenetics blunts drug-seeking by synthetic physiology Summary This Nature paper describes a novel closed-loop chemogenetic approach that engineers ion channels directly gated by cocaine. The authors created two cocaine-activated…
Global phenology maps reveal the drivers and effects of seasonal asynchrony Summary This Nature paper presents a global, biome-agnostic mapping of land surface phenology (LSP) using space-based proxies of vegetation…
Dual-scale chemical ordering for cryogenic properties in CoNiV-based alloys Summary This paper presents a thermodynamically guided nanostructure design that deliberately combines two scales of chemical ordering — atomic-scale short-range order…
Topological prethermal strong zero modes on superconducting processors Summary This paper reports the experimental observation of long-lived topological edge modes — so-called prethermal strong zero modes — on a high-performance…
Attosecond control and measurement of chiral photoionization dynamics Summary This paper introduces attosecond chiroptical spectroscopy — the first application of circularly polarised attosecond extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulses to investigate and control…
Electrically driven lasing from a dual-cavity perovskite device Summary This paper reports the first clear demonstration of electrically driven lasing in a metal-halide perovskite system using a vertically stacked dual-cavity…
